I think anyone that took the time and effort to trieing to figure this whole theory11 clues and what not, are the magicians that are dedicated.
I would have to disagree. I would just call them people who have too much time on their hands. I spent some time on it, but I didn't make it my life.
Magicians who
are dedicated on the other hand, are/were the ones out practicing and performing during the whole build up to Theory 11.
As for the kid misconception, I've debated over that on other forums enough. People will always use "kids" as a reference mainly because kids are usually ignorant to many things in life still (a good ignorant). It's when they say 13, 14, 15, 16, etc year-olds, that bothers me.
My best advice is to just ignore it.
